Great Power Technology

While his opponent was busy dealing with matters in Yindu, Ye Zhou finally ended his long conversation with Chen Hao.

He finally had a complete understanding of the game between the two countries over food.

This is not an entanglement between conspiracy and treachery, but a conflict between conspiracy and conspiracy. In fact, from an objective point of view, neither party has lost the courage that a great power should have.

China's opponents are strategizing, planning all over the world, and planning far into the future, and they are full of opportunities; while China itself is based on the fundamentals, working steadily, and making clever moves.

If the differences in positions are not taken into account, this hedging can indeed be regarded as a pinnacle in the history of human struggle.

In fact, this struggle was indeed the last struggle before resorting to force on a large scale.

Regardless of which side loses, further escalation is inevitable.

To avoid such an upgrade, China's only chance lies in the Six-Base project.

Time is the most important thing.

Now, there are still two months until the gene editing project to increase rice production ends. Within these two months, if good news cannot come from the Kunlun Mountains, then it will be an extremely difficult time for our side.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou felt a deep sense of crisis.

Chen Hao on the side seemed to understand his thoughts. He silently poured Ye Zhou a cup of tea, and then asked:

"Did you find the key to the matter?"

Ye Zhou nodded, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

This is unprecedented pressure, and the weight of this pressure is even far greater than that time when I was still in Hailan.

Because no matter how anxious I was at that time, I still had a bottom-line judgment in my heart, that is, it would be difficult for a large-scale hot war to break out, because the balance of power between the two sides at that time was still not balanced.

But now, things have completely changed.

As long as they move, they will fight to the end.

Chen Hao pushed the cup towards Ye Zhou, signaling him to take a sip of tea to calm down. Then he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, opening the light-blocking curtains.

Sunlight immediately filled the entire living room. Chen Hao walked to the table again, patted Ye Zhou's shoulder gently, and motioned for him to follow him.

Ye Zhou stood up confused and asked:

"Where to go?"

Chen Hao said without looking back:

"Take you to get some sunshine."

Ye Zhou hesitated for a moment and finally followed.

Ye Zhou's current residence is actually in a base in a certain military region. After leaving the house, the two of them walked along the road in the residential area. After passing the barracks, the playground, and several buildings with different functions, Only then did we finally arrive near the training ground.

It was 11 o'clock in the morning, and the day's training was at its peak. The two found a seat at the edge of the training ground and sat down, watching the new recruits running and training on the training ground, silently.

After a long time, Chen Hao asked:

"Do you have a feeling now that the future of our country depends on you alone, or in other words, on a project?"

Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Is not it?"

In his view, the war on food launched by the Ugly Country is bound to fail. With the support of gene editing technology, increasing food production has become a destined future. So it is obvious that the global production reduction planned by the other party will not work. possible.

However, the other party has paid a huge price to achieve this goal, including but not limited to currency credit, funds, alliance influence, military influence, and a series of factors. If it fails, all the prices paid will be lost. significance.

This is a huge loss, and they must find a way to make up for it - no matter what.

If one's side wants to curb the opponent's madness, the only option is to use some overwhelming advantage to lock in the victory in advance, and to make the other party clearly aware of the result.

Nuclear threats are an extremely effective means, but the problem is that the other side also has such threats.

No one wants to choose the ending of dying together, so RSA decryption has become the only alternative to the nuclear threat at this stage.

If we follow this logic, it doesn't seem wrong to say that the fate of the entire country rests on one project or on one person.

However, after hearing Ye Zhou's rhetorical question, Chen Hao laughed helplessly.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath before answering:

"So I have always said that your involvement in our overall overall situation is still insufficient - you are too focused on the technical field. This is a good thing in the short term, because you can use the highest efficiency to obtain the most results."

"But in the long run, this way of working will crush you."

"As you are answering me now, the fate of the entire country depends on you alone. Think about it for yourself, is this possible?"

"Don't talk about you alone. As a country and an organization as big as ours, will our fate be determined by a small six-nosed project?"

"Do you know what your kind of thinking is called?"

Ye Zhou frowned and replied:

"Personal heroism?"

Chen Hao laughed and replied:

"Wrong, it's opportunism. Act blindly, put equipment first, enjoy great achievements, and seek quickness and perfection. These are all manifestations of opportunism - of course, you haven't developed to this level yet, but you do put a certain thing or A certain technology is too important."

"Is the Six-Noses project important? It is undeniable that it is important."

"But will it be our only support? Will it be our only trump card to check and balance our enemies and prevent them from taking action against us?"

"Obviously not."

"I know what you want to say. What you want to say is that what we need is not a strategy of perish together. What we need is a method that can contain the opponent with minimal casualties and minimum cost, right?"

Ye Zhou nodded, his eyes full of doubts.

The man next to him is full of confidence and seems to have no worries about this possible war, but where does his confidence come from?

Ye Zhou couldn't understand.

In his opinion, nothing can end wars more effectively than RSA decryption, because it is the only way to stop wars in their bud without actually happening.

"That's my question. The question is, how do we do that?"

Chen Hao on the side shook his head and said:

"You still don't understand. Tell me, what is the nature of war?"

Ye Zhou frowned, and after a moment, he replied in a low tone:

"I don't know why you brought me here, but if you want to say that the essence of war is people and our trump card is these soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice, then I want to say that you think of war too simply. Too frivolous."

"War kills people, and it must be filled with real human lives one by one. If one day a war really breaks out, these living lives in front of us will become numerous bones buried under the soil."

"I can't face this result calmly, which is why I want to emphasize the importance of the Six-Noses Project - if you can win without a fight, who is willing to really pay with your life?"

"What's more, even if they sacrifice their lives, they may not be able to get a truly good ending."

"A conventional war between two superpowers will definitely turn into a thermonuclear war in the end, unless one side can quickly end the conventional war with an overwhelming advantage. Obviously, for us now, this is impossible. Arrived."

Chen Hao nodded slightly and replied:

"We really can't. But have you ever thought about what if we don't have to do this?"

"What if what we want to do is neither a quick end to conventional war nor nuclear deterrence?"

"When I ask you what the nature of war is, I'm not asking you 'how to win', but asking you 'what does the winner get after winning'."

"This question is actually easy to answer, and can even be summarized in one word: means of production."

"The essence of all wars is to compete for the means of production."

“The most basic carrier of the means of production is land.”

"This is why nuclear deterrence is regarded as the strongest and ultimate deterrence, because this kind of deterrence is not only extremely destructive to living forces, but also extremely destructive to production materials and land resources."

"So based on this logic, we can draw a conclusion: the essence of war is the fight for the means of production, and the essence of ending war is the demise of the possibility of obtaining the means of production."

"Then we can easily continue to reason: Are there really only two options for defeating this possibility: victory and self-destruction?"

"Obviously there are more, because guerrilla warfare, street fighting, and rural siege of cities are typical solutions."

"And, after technology has developed to the current level, we have emerged with other deterrents that can also disable production materials in a short period of time and with less sacrifice of personnel."

“Imagine if one day, when your enemy attacks you or even occupies your territory, he suddenly discovers that the more he occupies, the more he loses, and only we can reverse this loss. Will he continue this war?"

Looking at Ye Zhou's expression, Chen Hao smiled and said:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the house-changing tactic, that's too low."

"I'm talking about a direct hit to the enemy's productivity."

"A blow to productivity?? In what way??"

Ye Zhou asked in shock.

"There are many, some are dirty and some are positive, but for now, the one with the strongest deterrent is climate."
